Windows server will not boot from RAID 1 array

I have a Windows 2003 server w/ Intel MB & imbedded SATA RAID controller set up w/ 2 drives in RAID 1 booting the O/S. I have a 2nd RAID controller set up w/ 3 drives in RAID 5. I updated the driver for the 2nd RAID controller, now server will not boot. I get an error message no o/s detected. I think when I updated the driver it hosed the boot config for the imbedded controller (ie. destroyed the driver). I can boot into recovery console and see contents of Windows directory. How does Windows access the driver for the boot RAID controller and how do I fix it?
